Hey everyone!
The Marvel Legacy/Fresh Start Reading Order is now updated through September 2021 based on the latest solicitations. This includes a handful of story arcs, mini-series, and events like Extreme Carnage and The Last Annihilation.
Next week I'll be moving cross-country from FL to CO, so most of my week will be spent driving. To prep for that I've put in a bit more work on my Post-Crisis Batman Reading Order (still nothing to post yet), I updated the Power Rangers and Va...

Happy 4th of July Weekend!
This week I've completed updates to the Infinite Frontier Reading Order to get it including issues through September 2021. There are still a few series like Action Comics and The Flash that I'm waiting for more information on to identify when the first of their story arcs end, but I'll get those added in as soon as I can.
This new update adds in issues of Batman, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Nightwing, and Detective Comics leading up to the event Fear State. ...

Hi everyone!
I've added a Post-Crisis folder to the DC folder in my Google Drive. This is where I will be uploading character specific Reading Orders as I complete them. I've gone ahead and added a Crisis on Infinite Earths Reading Order to the folder, if anyone wants to read the complete event before moving into Post-Crisis comics.
So far I'm about 6 or so hours into my work...

Hey! I realized I didn't post anything all week, so I wanted to give a quick update before the weekend.
I'm working through some preliminary Post-Crisis Reading Order prep to really familiarize myself with the era and any pre-reading I may need to include. I've also started pulling together Batman series info but there's still a lot left to do. I'm hoping to have something to share next week.
In other news, DC's September solicitations released today, so I should hopefully have ...

The Infinite Frontier Reading Order is now updated with the August 2021 solicitations! This update includes a handful of 2021 Annuals, the Locke & Key/Sandman crossover, and a bunch of other good stuff like The Swamp Thing, Green Lantern, Crime Syndicate, etc.
Work begins on the DC Post-Crisis Reading Order next week, starting with Batman! Wish me luck :)
Have you been keeping up with Infinite Frontier? What are your thoughts so far? Are there any standout series?

The up-to-date modern Valiant Reading Order is now live!
For those of you that don't know, Valiant is a smaller independent comic universe similar to DC and Marvel, where all of the stories can be enjoyed on their own but also impact and interact with other series.
They only have a handful of series being published at once, so it's a much easier publisher to keep up with than Marvel or DC and, in my opinion, they've published some of the best superhero stories in the past 10 years...

The results are in! 14 votes Post-Crisis DC and 6 votes Marvel NOW. It's official, our next major Reading Order will be DC Post-Crisis!
This will be a fairly major undertaking since I'm not as well read on all of these series and will need to do a decent amount of research, but I plan on releasing this in parts, similar to how I completed the New 52. I will likely begin with Batman related boo...

Hi everyone!
I am back from vacation and glad to announce that we have surpassed our 40 patron goal!!!! With this milestone I will be bringing my modern Valiant Reading Order up to date and posting it here! If you've never read a comic by Valiant before, I highly recommend using this reading order to delve into some of the best Robert Venditti and Matt Kindt comics out there! I'll have the reading order updated and posted by early next week.
Our next goal (60 patrons) was to open ...

Hi everyone! Today I went through and made updates based on feedback I received from a few of you.
- All of the Sandman Universe titles have been added to the DC Rebirth Reading Order and a few have been added to the DC Infinite Frontier Reading Order.
- An "Optional" tab has been added to the DC Infinite Frontier Reading Order that includes non-canon releases.
Also, a reminder to participate in the Reading Order Recommendation Survey, if you haven't already. It w...

The Marvel Legacy/Fresh Start Reading Order has now been updated with the July 2021 solicitations!
Thanks again for all of your support! I'll leave the Reading Order Recommendation Survey open until this Tuesday and plan on putting together a poll for the top choices Wednesday. Once we get the results of that, I should hopefully be able to begin work on the new order starting in June.
Have a nice Mother's Day Weekend!

The DC Infinite Frontier Reading Order has been updated with information from the recently released July 2021 solicitations. Unlike with Rebirth, there aren't clear story subtitles or details like part 1, part 2, conclusion, listed on the solicitations or covers, so it's likely I will be making regular changes on a weekly basis as these new issues are releasing.
I haven't had a chance to get started reading any of the new DC releases, so I'm also not sure how interconnected the back-up ...

Keep in mind, your requests do not need to be limited to DC or Marvel. Feel free to request any reading order you are interested in (ex. Hellboy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, etc.)

With all of the series being published today, it can be extremely hard to find and collect every comic listed on a reading order, so I thought I'd take some time to put together a quick guide on reading and collecting comics both digitally and physically. This will be a 100% legal guide, so no scan or download recommendations, but it should still help to cut some expenses.
Disclaimer: I am located in the U.S., so some of these recommendations may not apply to all of you, but I'm hop...

Well, this was by far the most work I've ever put into a Reading Order. I started my DC Rebirth and Marvel Legacy orders as those eras began, so it was fairly easy to keep up with the comics, predict ordering with solicits, and rearrange as I read, but I've never gone back and created such a large order based on already fully completed materials. Luckily, I really got into comics with Morrison's Batman & Robin series, so by the time the New 52 started I was reading everything.
I've ...

Hi everyone! No exciting update this week, but I only have a few more series to go through before I will have a fully complete New 52 Reading Order ready for posting next week.
I was hoping to have it complete this week but between work, wedding planning, and planning a cross-country move, I've been totally swamped and haven't had the time to focus.
Once this is finished I'll be posting a poll to select the next reading order to be worked on, so brainstorm some ideas of what you m...

With the new Invincible animated series out from Amazon (in the U.S.) I wanted to take a moment to recommend not only the primary series Invincible, but also all of the series that take place in the same universe (and occasionally crossover). All of the series outlined below are part of the Invincible Universe Reading Order available through Comic Orderly in our Indy folder.
Invincible by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley - Honestly there's not much I can add...

It's finally here! The DC Infinite Frontier Reading Order has been created and uploaded to the DC folder.
Since DC is trying something different with thicker issues and back-up stories, I decided to try something new and split up the backup from the main stories. With this in mind, I also listed series like Batman: Urban Legends by part (ex. Red Hood, Outsiders, etc.) instead of by full issue. I'm not sure how connected the backup stories will be to the main stories, so this may be unne...

In the meantime, I spent some time today getting my Power Rangers reading order up-to-date and I've uploaded it to the Indy folder. I was never a fan of Power Rangers as a kid, but I was absolutely blown ...
